It’s Summertime in Florida, and that means thunderstorms on a daily basis. A bit of an inconvenience when you want to wear open-toed shoes to work- not to mention a damper on any type of hairstyle. So while I sit here waiting for the “Severe Thunderstorm Watch” to pass on through I thought to myself; what a perfect reason to buy a new pair of rain boots! I’ll definitely use them for at least two months out of the year, and IF I move back up north it will be perfect for the cold and snowy winters… clearly it’s an investment.
My first pick: Hunters “Original Short Rain Boot” which can be found at Nordstrom’s (best department store EVER)- they’re a little pricey at $115 but like I said- it’s an investment.
Second pick and only because it’s impossible for me to find: Marc by Marc Jacobs rain boot for $28!!!!! Can be found in the “Special Items” section in- stores only. (The closest one to me is in Savannah, any other ones I’ve found online are double the price and not the color I want–totally bummed) Good for you if there’s a Marc Jacobs store near you.
Third pick and reasonably priced: “Beans Wellies” in Navy from L.L. Bean for $59.
So…. the moral of the story is if I have to weather these torrential downpours I may as well do it fashionably- A la Nicole Richie.
